debted to an article in one of the May num- 

 bers of the Atnerican Bee Journal, from the 

 pen of C. P. Dadant, for my success: in 

 fact, I have found the American Bee Jour- 

 nal a valuable help to me in my apicultural 

 work, and could not now very well dispense 

 with its weekly visits. 



Owing to the short crop, honey is in good 

 demand, and bringing better prices than 

 last season. A. Boomek.

Likel.y No Honey Shipt. 



I do not think there will be any honey 

 shipt from here this season. There is nearly 

 a failure all over southwestern Colorado, 

 and northern New Mexico. We have a fair 

 crop, and I am selling at s',; and 10 cents 

 for comb, and seven for extracted now, 

 with prospect of a rise.

A Beginner's Repopt. 



I bought one colony of bees last spring, 

 and they swarmed twice, but they have 

 stored no honey in the sections over the 

 brood-frames yet, but I think they soon 

 will, for the flowers are coming into bloom 

 on the low lands, and wild rice is .lust 

 coming into flower. W. A. F. Peterson-.

Excellent Honey-Flow. 



I have 2.") colonies of bees, all in fine con- 

 dition. The honey-flow in this locality was 

 most excellent. I have taken off half a ton 

 of choice honey (comb and extracted) so 

 far, mostly from white and sweet clover, 

 with prospects good for an abundant fall 

 flow. 



I have been reading the valuable Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal with much interest since I 

 subscribed, last spring. The reports under 

 "General Items," from various States, are 

 especially interesting, V. H. Fisher,

Bees Have Done Nothing. 



Bees have done nothing here this summer. 

 We may have to feed some, as it is too dry, 

 and no nectar in the flowers.

The Spreading Disease. 



In regard to what " Minnesota " has to 

 say, on page .518. of the worm found in 

 combs which have this bee-disease resemb- 

 ling foul brood, but which it is not, an ac- 

 quaintance, in trying to clean combs of 

 this dead brood, found quite a number of 

 these worms, resembling wire-worms. The 

 worms were found in the corabs, when 

 taken from the hive, but the dead brood 

 had to be removed in order to And them, 

 i ne Mciivoy treatment for foul brood will 

 not rid colonies of this disease, as we have
